Is the ceramic coating lead and cadmium free?
4746
We bought the Cuisinart 10" saute pan 8 or 10 months ago, but I do think I read from the info that came with the pan that they claimed the coating was lead and cadmium free. Really like this pan -- it is "non-stick" if you season it and treat it right.

Dave - US Federal regulations, prohibit lead and cadmium use in any materials that comes in contact with food. Coatings must be formulated from material that have are listed in 21CFR170(b). Neither lead, cadmium nor any heavy metal is approved as "Generally Recognized As Safe"Imported cookware can be an issue, especially from China as China tends to ignore US safety conditions. The Ceramica© used by Cuisinart is manufactured in Italy and meet all US and EU safety codes according to the Ceramica© website.

Go to the Hamilton Beach web site and FAQ. http://www.hamiltonbeach.com/faqs-slow-cookers.html The web site states the following: Lead and cadmium are naturally occurring elements in the earth. As cooking vessels are earthenware cooking vessels, lead and cadmium may be naturally present. HBB cooking vessels are porcelain enamel coated to create a barrier between food and earthenware. The porcelain enamel coated cooking vessels are evaluated using ASTM extraction test procedures with detection limits of 0.1 ug/ml for lead and 0.01ug/ml for cadmium. In HBB cooking vessels, the amount of lead or cadmium present in the extractant is below the test's limits of detection. Additionally, the factories that manufacture HBB cooking vessels are certified ceramic production facilities whose ceramic ware is deemed to satisfy FDA heavy metal requirements in accordance with the Memorandum of Understanding between the United States and China. HBB takes all reasonable steps to ensure that our cook vessels provide safe and satisfactory service to our consumers.

Oh golly, I'm sorry, I have no idea about the lead. I would assume it's lead free, but that's just my guess. I really enjoy mine.

I specifically looked for lead free. This was sent to my son, directly, so whether it was stated on the box, I don't know. And, he's thrown it away by now. He loved it, though!!

Back of the package states meets or exceeds all US toy testing standards and pass high quality requirements, so that says to me that it doesn't contain lead. i would contact them directly if you still have concerns.

Yes, the coating is a ceramic and is free of heavy metals such as cadmium. I've had my set for a year now and except for the nuisance of not being dishwasher safe, they are quite nice. Dried Mac & Cheese wipes right off. If you need a set that is dishwasher safe, I recommend the Henkle Zwilling Spirit cookware. I have the 10 piece set, plus a couple of extra skillets and pots. It is dishwasher safe.

Ask the manufacturer, as such information isn't provided. I expect they'll say lead-free. Just don't lick the faucet!

It is NOT lead free. In product details you can read: Proposition 65 warning!

There was no mention of lead or cadmium on the packaging and one other Norpro garlic baker states no lead or cadmium in their terra cotta. You could probably contact Norpro and ask them.

Hi, Yes it is lead-free, and what a wonderful rice cooker. I broke the lid not long after purching it, but it still cooks the rice excellently. Just follow the strage to me, instructions - lol

The only information I found was on squidoo.com that said that all of their dinnerware meets the FDA Standards for lead and calcium(?) releases, so it's "perfectly safe". I assume that implies they are not 100% lead and cadmium free, but are minimal. Personally, I'm really happy with them. I ordered them in 4 different colors. Hope that hellps.

I was worried about lead too. I was just told a lot of glassware has lead, Cadmium or Barium Oxide so I am trying to change my dinnerware and glassware to something safe. Did you try contacting the company to see if their product is free of these items? thanks

I'm sure it is lead free. Lead paint is rarely used, and would have to come with a warning. Especially with a product intended for children.
